I had two weeks to pack up and move from Brooklyn to Austin. He was in Australia, determined to come back to Brooklyn and get to know me. We had our first date one morning in New York and I moved to Texas that night. Through long distance, immigration, and a few secrets along the way, our love story is one I never could have imagined for myself...but it's the wild one that I always hoped for.

By the encouragement of strangers, friends, family, and even our immigration lawyer, I decided to write the story from the beginning. This is our journey so far, from the moments I've kept deep in my heart to the twists we never saw coming. A genuine, true love.
